Shannon, I just heard about Roger's passing this afternoon.  I'm so sorry for your loss.

All of us who knew Roger can say we always had good times when he was around.
Shannon, you have my deepest sympathy.

So sorry to hear of Roger's passing.  I knew him since the 5th grade.  My brother coached he and the boys at the Boys Home in Richmond.  He was such a sweet guy.  Thoughts go out to his wife and family.

Shannon, I was In the academy with Roger.  We were good friends and he was a great guy and friend.  Sorry for your loss.

Shannon, we love you! We loved Roger and will miss him. Come see us soon. xOXoXo

Shannon, my deepest sympathies to you for your loss of Roger. I will miss his big hearted laugh and smile very much. He was a very faithful patron--and a lot of fun--to many of us who work in Richmond's restaurant establishments. I always enjoyed talking about, and playing golf with Roger; his stories and recaps always got better and better. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with you.

Shannon, all my love and prayers are with you!  Roger was one of kind.  He was one of the most loving and caring man I have ever known. I will always see his smile and hear his laughter.

Shannon we are so very sorry for your loss. Let us know if you need anything. We will miss Roger also. Beki and Edgewater staff

I will always remeber Roger and Shannon comong up to the deck while I was struggling to keep everything working.  I had a couple of bad boards that I was going to fix the next day. Roger knew I had my hands full.  The next day on a 100 degree day Roger had the boards on his truck. Job done without me asking for help, or Roger accepting any money. (He did take some drinks, not enough)

Shannon, Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.  His smile will stay with me.  He will be greatly missed by so many people he touched during his life.

Shannon - I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Roger. I have very fond memories of the both of you while I was working at breakers. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.
